The Medical Marijuana Dispensary Program (MMDP) would like to inform all dispensaries that they must continue to follow all dispensary rules.

Dispensaries cannot sell to the public when Measure 91 goes into effect on July 1, 2015.

If the law changes, allowing early retail sales, the MMDP will send out official notice and instructions including the effective date.

Reminders:

• All transfers of marijuana from a dispensary must be done in the dispensing room and only to OMMP patients and OMMP caregivers in accordance with 333-008-1245.

• All transfers of marijuana to a dispensary must be done in accordance with OAR 333-008-1230.

• Dispensaries cannot provide, sell, or dispense marijuana at an offsite event or to an offsite event.

• Marijuana may not be provided, sold, dispensed, or otherwise transferred to members of the public by a dispensary on dispensary property. This includes any transfers by vendors on dispensary property.

• A cardholder’s photo ID and OMMP card must be checked every time before the cardholder is allowed to enter the dispensary and the names on the OMMP card and the ID must match.

• A grower may only enter a dispensary if he or she is there to transfer product to a dispensary and is authorized to do so by his or her patient.

• Consumption, ingestion, inhalation or topical application of usable marijuana on the premises of the dispensary is not allowed except by an employee who is an OMMP
patient, during the employee’s work shift at the dispensary when it is necessary for the employee’s medical condition. The employee can only consume on premises, alone in a closed room, and where the employee is not visible to the public outside the facility or visible to patients or caregivers inside the facility.

Finally, the dispensary program would like to reinforce:

• Members of the public are not allowed into the dispensary.

• NO cardholder may enter a dispensary if they do not have their valid OMMP card AND photo ID with them each time. o NO cardholder may enter a dispensary by the dispensary looking up their OMMP card or photo ID in dispensary records.

• NO cardholder may enter a dispensary by using a “safety packet” (i.e. a copy of their OMMP application and the certified mail receipt).

• NO cardholder may enter a dispensary by using an OMMP extension letter.

• NO cardholder may enter a dispensary by using the cardstock that the card comes attached to if the card has been removed.

The Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) is a registry program within the state's Department of Human Services (DHS). The OMMP administers the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act as approved by the voters in November 1998 when Oregonians passed Measure 67 with 55% of the vote. Patients with certain debilitating medical conditions may register with the program and be permitted to possess and grow medical cannabis.
Patients suffering from conditions such as cancer, glaucoma, and severe pain may register with the program. Patients may also register a person responsible for a marijuana grow site (PRMG) to grow their medical marijuana and a caregiver to assist them in their use of the medicine.

In OREGON |
A patient with a valid ID card may use marijuana for medicinal purposes and the patient can designate a primary caregiver to help them with their medicine. Patients may possess "paraphernalia" such as pipes, water pipes, vaporizers, in order to use their medicine. Patients must enroll in the state patient registry and possess a valid identification card in order to be legally protected.
With a valid registry ID card you (or your designated primary caregiver) may possess up to 6 mature plants and 24 ounces of dried plant material. You must have the registry identification card with you when using or transporting marijuana in a location other than your home.
NOTE: Unless you have been convicted of a Class A or Class B felony under ORS 475.840 to 475.920 for the manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance in Schedule I or Schedule II. If you have had a drug conviction in the past 5 years, you are only allowed to possess 1 ounce of medicine at a time.

Some Basic Facts

The role of the Oregon Department of Human Services, Health Services is simply to administer the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act as approved by the voters of this State.
The Department did not write the law and does not have any authority to change it or to disregard its provisions. The principal goal of the OMMP is to make the registration process work smoothly and efficiently for qualified patients.

You must be an Oregon resident to be a registered patient in the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP).

Your physician must be a Medical Doctor (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) licensed to practice medicine in Oregon. You must have an established patient/physician relationship with your "attending physician." Naturopaths, chiropractors, and nurse practitioners cannot sign the documentation.

The OMMP cannot refer you to a physician. The OMMP does not have a physician referral list.

You must list a grow site address on your application. You, or your designated primary caregiver, may grow your own medication. There is no place in the State of Oregon to legally purchase medical marijuana.

The OMMP cannot find a designated primary caregiver for you. The OMMP does not keep a referral list of persons who want to be caregivers for patients. (You are not required to list a caregiver, unless you are less than 18 years old.) Your caregiver cannot be your physician.

The OMMP cannot supply you with seeds or starter plants, or give you advice on how to grow medical marijuana.

Access/ Caregivers |
As a patient, you may acquire your medicine by growing it yourself or by having your designated primary caregiver grow it for you. Patients may also give each other marijuana, but the law does not protect the sale of medical marijuana. Grow sites are to be registered with the Oregon Health Authority.

Age Limits |
If you are under 18, your custodial parent or legal guardian with responsibility for your healthcare must sign a written statement indicating that he or she consents to your to use of medicinal marijuana, agrees to serve as your designated primary caregiver, agrees to control your acquisition of marijuana and the dosage and frequency of your use, and that your physician explained the possible risks and benefits of medicinal marijuana use.

Confidentiality |
The Oregon Health Authority maintains a list of the people with ID cards, the names of any designated primary caregivers, and the addresses of authorized marijuana grow sites. This list is supposed to remain confidential. It may only be legally accessed by members of the Oregon Health Authority and by state and local law enforcement in order to verify whether someone is a patient, someone is a designated primary caregiver, or whether a location is an authorized marijuana grow site.

Insurance |
The law does not require a government medical assistance program or private health insurer to reimburse a patient for costs of their medicine.

Reciprocity |
There is currently no state reciprocity program in Oregon. If you do not have an Oregon patient ID, you are not protected as a medical marijuana patient in Oregon.

Caregiver/Patient Guidelines

The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (OMMA) allows a qualified patient to designate any person to be their caregiver for the purposes of producing or using medical marijuana. This designated caregiver is then exempted from Oregon marijuana laws just as the patient is. There are various issues that need to be considered in this relationship.

The Law

Both patient and caregiver should be familiar with the provisions of OMMA. The full text of
the law and related documents are provided by the Oregon Health Division with their applicants
packet for patients and interested parties. Either write to the OMMP at P.O. Box 14450,
Portland, OR 97293-0450 -or- Call (971) 673-1234 and ask a representative to send
you this information.

If the garden is at the caregiver's residence, the caregiver can possess up to four (4) dried ounces per plant and the patient can possess up to one ounce at their residence. Either the patient or the caregiver can transport up to one ounce away from their residence. The garden can contain up to 24 marijuana plants per Patient (6 mature). The garden must not be visible from a public place.

Patients who exceed the explicit limits of the state law may also be protected by an affirmative defense or choice of evils defense. There are many cases where strict compliance with the limits will cause patients to suffer because they are not using enough medicine. In such cases, patients should get a statement from their doctor stating that they require greater amounts.

All participants should be aware that federal law still prohibits marijuana possession although it is unlikely that an OMMP cardholder would be prosecuted. OMMA does not allow sale of marijuana under any circumstances.

Costs

There are costs associated with producing medical marijuana. Indoor gardens require lights, timers, fans, other equipment, and paying an electric bill. Outdoor gardens require soil, fertilizer, water, and other expenses. Costs vary greatly depending on individual circumstances and the size of the garden. OMMA does not allow the sale of marijuana under any circumstances but a patient paying the costs associated with a garden producing their medicine is not likely to be considered a sale. Patients and caregivers should agree on what, if any, contribution a patient will make towards expenses.

Medical Issues

The patient, in consultation with their physician, must ultimately be responsible for their own medical marijuana use. Caregivers can strive to provide a supply of high quality marijuana for patients to use; but they cannot take responsibility for the medical effects. Patients must inform themselves about the risks and benefits of using medical marijuana.

Supply Shortfalls

The grow-your-own system OMMA allows is much less dependable than a system allowing patients to buy medicine at a pharmacy or buyers club. It will take a caregiver 4-6 months to grow the first crop. Outdoor gardens will only produce one harvest each year. Indoor gardens can be subject to crop failures for a variety of reasons. Spider mites, over fertilizing, under fertilizing, and light cycle problems all can ruin a crop. The limit of three mature plants means there is no margin for error.

Patients and caregivers should expect periods when they will have no medicine and should discuss some contingency plans. It can be helpful to be connected to a network of other patients and caregivers who might be able to help each other by providing a safety net. OMMA does allow any cardholder to give up to an ounce of marijuana to another cardholder. Some caregivers may purchase black market marijuana for patients, although this purchase is not fully protected by OMMA.

Transportation

Patients and caregivers should agree on who will transport the marijuana to the patient's residence. It is helpful if both parties have the same expectation about how this will occur.

Disputes

Patients and their caregivers should attempt to work out any disagreements themselves. The MCRC can provide advice and information about the law, but we are not trained mediators and have no legal standing to intervene. The relationship is between two individuals.

The most common reason for problems is the caregiver being unable to supply an adequate amount of medical marijuana for the patient's needs. Patients should try to estimate their needs and agree that a caregiver will make a good faith effort to produce this much. Both parties should be aware that patients often use more medicine once they have a steady affordable supply. Planning for this may help avoid problems.

Terminating the Relationship

Either party can terminate the relationship at any time. However, termination puts the caregiver in a problematic situation because their garden ceases to be exempted from laws prohibiting marijuana. Changes in the relationship should be thoroughly considered, and, where possible, a written agreement drawn up beforehand.

To get full advantage, be fully informed. Read the text of (OMMA) the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act, and the other documentation available, to understand the legal conditions and restrictions which govern medical growing and use of cannabis in Oregon. This info was from a number of sources, mostly the OMMP website. To make sure you are acting on the latest & greatest info, check with the OMMP before relying totally on data from this or any other source. When in doubt, they are the final arbiters and judges of the rules & regulations, so you might as well check with them first.

Cannabis is medicine and has
been so since mans ancestors first encountered it.
Archeology tells us more about the history of
this fascinating and versatile plant every day.
Educate yourself and others on the issues surrounding it and its utilization.

The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (OMMA), a ballot initiative approved by voters in 1998,
allows patients to possess and grow small amounts of medial marijuana. The law required
DHS to create a registry system for persons authorized to use marijuana for medicinal
purposes. Applicants must provide a statement from their physician that they have a
qualifying medical condition and that medical marijuana might alleviate their symptoms or
disease. Once their application is approved they are issued a registration card that is
renewable annually. For those who understand the utilization of cannabis as medicine,
this is an invaluable option in therapy.

In this section we talk about some of the conditions and symptoms where
others have experienced relief through the application of cannabis.
We will try to list ailments involved and medications used along with the
theraputic benefits and recommended titration (dosage) levels.

Not only that, we want a real, honest assessment of the risks as well.
We want to build this into a reference for not only the healing
properties of this plant but all the medical marijuana myths and facts.

January 15, 2009 - Washington, DC, USA: Clinical and preclinical research on the therapeutic use of cannabis indicates that cannabinoids may curb the progression of various life-threatening diseases – including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and brain cancer, according to an updated report published today by the NORML Foundation.

NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano, who authored the report, said: "The conditions profiled in this report were chosen because patients frequently ask me about the use of cannabis to treat these disorders. Ideally, with this report in their hands, patients can now begin talking openly with their physicians about whether cannabis therapy is appropriate for them."

The Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) receives many questions that are not answered in
the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (OMMA, 1998),
Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS),
Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR),
or the application.
The information provided here, initially from
the OMMP website, is an effort to help you
understand the role of the OMMP, its benefits and limitations.
See OMMPs FAQs Page at:
http://oregon.gov/DHS/ph/ommp/top20.cfm

1) Can the OMMP refer me to a physician?

No. The names of physicians who have submitted forms, letters, or chart notes for their patients are confidential, and the OMMP does not have a physician referral list.
See the MERCY Orgz list for resources in this area.

2) Where do I get the seeds or plants to start growing medical marijuana?

The OMMP is not a resource for the growing process and does not have information to give to patients.
See the MERCY Orgz list for resources in this area.

3)
What do I have to pay for an OMMP registry identification card?

As of Oct. 1st, 2011, the fee is determined by the
following:

The fee for a NEW application is -
$200.00 OR
$100.00
- if you are on the Oregon Health Plan (OHP)
-or-
persons receiving SNAP (food stamp) benefits; OR
$20.00
- if you are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) monthly benefits. Note: SSI is NOT the same as Social Security Disability (SSD).

PLUS
$50 fee to be charged for grow sites < IF > Patient not the Grower.

The fee for a RENEWAL application is -
$200.00 OR
$100.00
- if you are on the Oregon Health Plan (OHP)
-or-
persons receiving SNAP (food stamp) benefits; OR
$20.00
- if you are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) monthly benefits. Note: SSI is NOT the same as Social Security Disability (SSD).

PLUS
$50 fee to be charged for grow sites < IF > Patient not the Grower.

AND
* Thre is now a $100 fee for Replacement registry cards.

To qualify for the reduced fees, applicants must submit documentation that verifies their participation:

OHP: “Oregon Health Plan” means the medical assistance program administered by the Department under ORS chapter 414. Eligibility in the Oregon Health Plan is demonstrated by providing a current, valid eligibility determination statement from the Department’s Office of Medical Assistance Programs. To qualify for a reduced fee, a copy of the patient’s current eligibility statement must be provided at the time the patient submits an application.

Food Stamps: means the monthly benefit assistance program administered by the federal government for person who has limited income and financial resources. To qualify for the reduced fee, a copy of a current Food Stamp benefit (SNAP) proof must be provided at the time the patient submits an application. The Department may verify the patient's current Food Stamp benefits through the Department or the Department of Human Service's Children and Family Services Department.

SSI: “Supplemental Security Income” means the monthly benefit assistance program administered by the federal government for persons who are age 65 or older, or blind, or disabled and who have limited income and financial resources. Eligibility for Supplemental Security Income is demonstrated by providing a copy of a receipt of a current monthly benefit. To qualify for a reduced fee, a copy of a receipt of a current Supplemental Security Income monthly benefit must be provided at the time the patient submits an application.

4) I do not have the money for the application fee. Is it a one-time payment? Can it be waived? Can I make installment payments? Will my insurance pay? Can I pay with my credit card?

The answer to all these questions is "no". The fee must be paid in full with each new or renewal application. Make your check or money order payable to "OMMP". You may pay in person at the State Office Building cashier's office in Portland.

5) Why do I need to have a physician sign and date the form or send a chart note to the OMMP? Why can't I just provide my medical records?

According to the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (Section 4 (2)(a)), and OAR 333-008-0020(1)(a), a physician must state in writing that the patient has a qualifying debilitating medical condition and that medical marijuana may mitigate the symptoms or effects of that condition. The OMMP accepts medical records as long as they clearly state the physician is aware that medical marijuana is being used as a treatment and he or she believes the patient may benefit from the use of medical marijuana. The physician must sign and date the relevant portions of medical records you send to the OMMP. The OMMP contacts each physician during the application process to verify the patient is under the physician's care. A signed and dated "Attending Physician's Statement," copies of chart notes or medical records must be current within 3 months of the date of a person's new or renewal application.

6) Why are only MDs (Medical Doctors) and DOs (Doctors of Osteopathy) qualified to sign the "Attending Physician's Statement" of the application? Why not naturopaths, chiropractors, or nurse practitioners? Does the physician have to be licensed in Oregon?

The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act states that an "attending physician" means a physician licensed under ORS chapter 677 (OAR 333-008-0010(1)). MDs and DOs are the physicians licensed under this chapter. The law also specifies that a physician must be licensed in Oregon. The OMMP verifies with the Board of Medical Examiners that each patient's attending physician has a valid license to practice medicine in Oregon and has no disqualifying restrictions.

7) Do I have to list a "grow site" address on my application (that is, the address where I plan to grow my medical marijuana)??

Yes. OAR 333-008-0020(1)(b) requires the patient to provide the OMMP with the address where his or her marijuana will be manufactured or produced--that is, a "grow site" address. The OMMP is aware that some patients do not plan to grow their medical marijuana and at the time of making a new or renewal application, may not yet have a designated primary caregiver and/or may not be certain where their grow site will be.

For this requirement, the OMMP offers patients two options. First, the patient knows the physical address where his or her medical marijuana will be grown and provides this address to the OMMP on the application form. Second, the patient is not certain where his or her medical marijuana will be grown and provides the physical address where the medical marijuana will most likely be grown. A PO Box is not permitted as a grow site address.

You and your caregiver are not protected from criminal laws if: (1) your grow site address is not registered with the OMMP; (2) you provide the OMMP with incorrect grow site address information; or (3) you fail to inform the OMMP of any change in grow site information within 30 days of any such change (ORS 475.316).

8) What if other people are at my grow site besides my primary caregiver and me. Are these other people protected from civil and criminal penalties?

There is a section on the back of the application forms for you to list the names and dates of birth of any other persons who may be at the grow site, other than the patient and/or the designated primary caregiver. The OMMP will include this information in the patient's file and will verify these other names with law enforcement personnel only if an officer asks about a specific name(s) of a person who may be at a grow site. You are not required to list the names and dates of birth of other persons who may be at the grow site; this information is optional. OTHER PERSONS WHO MAY BE AT THE GROW SITE ARE NOT PROTECTED FROM CIVIL OR CRIMINAL PENALITIES!

9) Do I have to tell my landlord that I am a patient in the OMMP? Can my landlord evict me if I am a patient in the OMMP and have my grow site in my rental housing? Can I live in subsidized housing and be a patient in the OMMP?

It is up to you to decide whether or not to tell your landlord that you are a patient in the OMMP. Nothing in the OMMA specifically addresses whether or not you can be evicted because you are a patient in the OMMP, even if you have only the amount of medical marijuana allowed by law. Nothing in OMMP laws specifically addresses whether or not a person can be an OMMP patient and live in subsidized housing. If you have questions about these important issues, the OMMP recommends you talk to your personal attorney to learn about your rights and protections.

10) Do I have to tell the OMMP if I change my mailing address, add or remove a designated primary caregiver, or change my grow site address?

The answer to all these questions is "yes". You are required to tell the OMMP in writing of any such changes within 30 days of the change. The OMMP does not accept changes of information over the telephone. The OMMP only accepts written changes about the patient's address, designated primary caregiver, or grow site from the registered patient. You may send your changes to the OMMP by mail, by fax, or in person. At this time, if you make a change after your registry identification card has been issued, the OMMP will not issue a new card to you. You will get written confirmation from the OMMP that the change was received. Your changes will be made in our computer database and will be put in your file. You will be protected from civil and criminal penalties for these changes.

11) What happens to my application once I mail it? What if I don't send in all the required parts of my application?

The OMMP will review your application to make sure it is complete and all parts are current. If your application is complete, you will get a "complete letter" from the OMMP letting you know your registry identification card will be issued within 30 days after the OMMP receives verification from your attending physician. On the same day the OMMP sends you a "complete letter," we mail a "verification letter" to your attending physician.

The purpose of this letter is to verify that you are a patient of this physician, and for a new application, that you are affected by a debilitating medical condition covered by the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act, and that medical marijuana may reduce the symptoms of your condition. If you are renewing your application, the verification letter to your attending physician is to verify that you are his or her patient.

If you don't send in all the required parts of your application, the OMMP will send you an "incomplete letter" telling you what parts of your application are missing. The incomplete letter gives you 14 days from the date of the letter to get the missing parts to the OMMP and tells you the terms under which your application may be denied. When you get all missing parts of your application to the OMMP, you will be sent a "complete letter" and the OMMP will verify your status with your attending physician.

12) Do I need to keep a copy of my application and any other information I send to the OMMP?

Yes! You are strongly urged to keep copies of everything you send to the OMMP at any time now or in the future. For example, the copy of your application is your proof of protection until you are issued a registry identification card.

13) Why can't I go to a pharmacy to fill a prescription for medical marijuana?

Pharmacies can only dispense medications "prescribed" by licensed medical practitioners. The federal government classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug, which means licensed medical practitioners cannot prescribe it. The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act allows patients to grow their own medical marijuana for private use.

14) Is the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act recognized by other states? Can I travel to another state with medical marijuana and my OMMP registry identification card and not be arrested or charged with civil or criminal penalties?

At this time, the OMMP is not aware of any "reciprocity" agreements with any other states to honor the Oregon law. This includes even those states that have medical marijuana laws of their own, such as Washington and California. At this time, the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act is only recognized within our State

15) Is my confidentiality protected?

Yes. The OMMP does not give out lists of patients or physicians.
Law enforcement personnel may call the OMMP only to verify a specific name or address of a
patient or caregiver. The OMMP will tell law enforcement staff if the patient,
caregiver, or address in question is registered, or if an application is in process.
The OMMP will disclose patient information to others only at the specific written request of
the patient. OMMP computer files are secure and paper files are kept locked when not in
use.Read more

16) What should I tell my employer if I am subjected to a drug test?

The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act states that employers are not required to accommodate employees who use medical marijuana. It is up to you to decide whether or not to tell your employer that you are a patient in the OMMP. The OMMP has heard that several employers treat medical marijuana like any prescription drug that might impair ability; however, this is not true in all situations. A patient may contact the OMMP in writing to ask the Program to release information about the patient's registration to an employer.

17) It is time to renew my card and my physician's clinic has adopted a policy of not signing "Attending Physician's Statements".

A renewal application does not require a statement from a physician regarding the use of medical marijuana; however, a renewal does require the patient to demonstrate that his or her debilitating medical condition continues. You can submit a copy of relevant portions of your medical records made by your physician within 3 months of your application date. The records must be signed and dated by the physician. The OMMP urges patients to work closely with their attending physicians throughout the application process.

18) I live within 1000 feet of a school, AKA a "drug free zone". Can I still grow and/or possess my medical marijuana there?

The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (OMMA) does not address this issue. For questions about laws other than the OMMA, please contact your local law enforcement agency for guidance.

19) Can I have someone else sign and date my application (a "proxy") if I am physically unable to do so?

Yes, as long as the individual signing your application identifies him or herself as your proxy next to his or her signature on your application.

20) How are the laws and rules of the OMMA enforced?

The OMMP enforces the registration process-making sure applications are complete before issuing a registry identification card, denying incomplete or fraudulent applications, and suspending cards if persons commit violations of the OMMA. The OMMP verifies the names and addresses of patients, caregivers, and grow sites with local and state law enforcement personnel if they call the OMMP requesting such information.

Local and state law enforcement agencies enforce the OMMA around the State-that is, they may check to see if patients or caregivers possess or are growing the amount of medical marijuana allowed by law. Local and state law enforcement personnel may take any action they believe is necessary to enforce the criminal laws of the State, including violations of the OMMA. Local and state law enforcement actions may vary from county-to-county and district-to-district. The OMMP has no authority to direct the activities of local and state law enforcement agencies.

As a Patient - remember YOU represent the cause; Don't flaunt your medical marijuana usage. While you should feel free to talk openly about the therapeutic benefits of cannabis for yourself - and proudly display your banners, which give you an opportunity to educate - you should also be considerate and always discrete in obtaining and consuming your medicine. Medicating should be personal and you should handle it as you would any other medicine. This especially includes educating family and friends, most notably children. Situations where people may mistakenly consume (ie- unmarked brownies) or otherwise be affected by some aspect (ie- second-hand smoke) must be expected and proactively managed. See Caregiver/Patient Guidelines, above.

As a Patient/Caregiver - tell everyone your anecdotal experience (what happen to your own body, or that of someone you cared for, in your own words) when medical marijuana was utilized as opposed to other drugs. Help educate your circle of support about OMMA and the medical properties of marijuana and in general.

As a Concerned Citizen - Educate yourself fully and ACT. Research, network, follow up and learn as much as you can so you can effectively share the information with others that think they are opposed. Stay in the loop and be aware of legislative, organizational or business activities that may effect yourself and/or those you care about. Constantly write to legislators, media, businesses and organizations and let them know the good news.

Organized efforts; joining us -or- forming your own (individual -or- group effort)

Join a local group of patients and caregivers. By keeping in the loop, you’ll be apprised of the latest developments in the field and alert you when a vote is scheduled and the need is crucial for a letter to your state or federal elected officials.

what is the medication
called Cesamet for (Im
taking it for Fibromyalgia
I dont know why my Dr
Ordered it! Does any one
take it?

Nabilone is a synthetic
cannabinoid with therapeutic
use as an antiemetic and as
an adjunct analgesic for
neuropathic pain. It is a
synthetic cannabinoid, which
mimics the main chemical
compound of cannabis (THC).
Chemically, nabilone is
similar to the active
ingredient found in
naturally occurring Cannabis
sativa L. [1]

In Canada, the United
States, the United Kingdom
and Mexico, nabilone is
marketed as Cesamet. It was
approved in 1985 by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) for treatment of
chemotherapy-induced nausea
and vomiting that has not
responded to conventional
antiemetics. Though it was
approved by the FDA in 1985,
the drug only began
marketing in the United
States in 2006. It is also
approved for use in
treatment of anorexia and
weight loss in patients with
AIDS.

Although it doesn't have the
official indication (except
in Mexico), nabilone is
widely used as an adjunct
therapy for chronic pain
management. Numerous trials
and case studies have
demonstrated various
benefits for conditions such
as fibromyalgia[2] and
multiple sclerosis.[3]
Visit - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabilone

Also,
Cesamet® CII
(nabilone)
Capsules
For Oral Administration
Cesamet Description
Cesamet® (nabilone) is a
synthetic cannabinoid for
oral administration.
Nabilone as a raw material
occurs as a white to off-
white polymorphic
crystalline powder.
Cesamet (nabilone) is an
orally active synthetic
cannabinoid which, like
other cannabinoids, has
complex effects on the
central nervous system
(CNS). It has been suggested
that the antiemetic effect
of nabilone is caused by
interaction with the
cannabinoid receptor system,
i.e., the CB (1) receptor,
which has been discovered in
neural tissues.

Nontherapeutic Effects:
Cesamet, a synthetic
cannabinoid, has the
potential to be abused and
to produce psychological
dependence. Cesamet has
complex effects on the
central nervous system. Its
effects on the mental state
(i.e., "inner mental life")
are similar to those of
cannabis. Subjects given
Cesamet may experience
changes in mood (euphoria,
detachment, depression,
anxiety, panic, paranoia),
decrements in cognitive
performance and memory, a
decreased ability to control
drives and impulses, and
alterations in the
experience of reality (e.g.,
distortions in the
perception of objects and
the sense of time,
hallucinations). These
phenomena appear to be more
common when larger doses of
Cesamet are administered;
however, a full-blown
picture of psychosis
(psychotic organic brain
syndrome) may occur in
patients receiving doses
within the lower portion of
the therapeutic range.

Data on the chronic use of
Cesamet are not available;
experience with cannabis
suggests that chronic use of
cannabinoids may be
associated with a variety of
untoward effects on
motivation, cognition,
judgment, as well as other
mental status changes.
Whether these phenomena
reflect the underlying
character of individuals
chronically abusing cannabis
or are a result of the use
of cannabis is not known.

On child endangerment, the drug activities in the vicinity of the child have to be "illegal" so having kids around legal med marijuana use is not a crime. Take a look at constructive possession. There is a case that says being there is not enough, even with knowledge, without control.
